«L'Empreinte de l'ange» is the historical fiction novel by Nancy Huston, published by J'ai lu in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Set in Paris in 1957, it tells of the encounter between Saffie, a young German woman recently arrived, and Andras, a Hungarian emigrant of Jewish origin. Both carry the aftermath of the war, and that bond leads them to confront memories and traumas, in a reflection on how history permeates their lives and keeps them on guard.
The work was originally published in 1998; it won the Prix des libraires du Québec in 1999 and was nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize.
For readers of literary and historical fiction focused on the postwar period, with characters marked by memory and trauma.
